I caught up with Ronnie Renton of Mantic Games while at Adepticon. We chatted about, Kings of War, Dreadball, Dungeon Saga, Warpath, and the possibility of an RPG. I always have a good time with Ronnie.

Since ancient times, the world has been ravaged by war. The wise foresee an age of horror approaching, for the spirit of the earth is sick, tainted by deadly sorcery in a great conflict ages past. Not that the warlords of this bloody era care, not while there is glory to be won, territory to be wrested from the enemy, foes to be slaughtered.

Kings of War: Uncharted Empires is the ?rst supplement for Kings of War 2nd Edition and requires Kings of War 2nd Edition rulebook.

Dwarfs dwell in great halls under the earth, having carved out a subterranean empire beneath the feet of the surface peoples. They are unyielding in all matters, whether in business or war, and they excel at both.

They march to battle in solid ranks, their shields forming an immovable bulwark against enemy attack. They are supported by ranged fire from both the Ironwatch, with their crossbows and rifles, and the impressive war machines that accompany them to the field of war. Riding ahead of the main advance, Brock Riders, spur their fearsome mounts onwards to outflank the enemy and bring about their downfall.

These Goblins ordinarily carry spears and shields though these items are of little use in the close tunnels of overrun Dwarf citadels where many goblins make their home, and a close second favorite is a curved knife, preferably wielded behind the backs of their enemies. 10 x Metal Goblin Spearmen with command 10 x Plastic Mantic Bases

Have you ever heard the phrase table top quality? Did you wonder what it means? Well, if you know or think you know what table top quality means read on and I will share with you my findings. We will attempt to do this by not siding with any one view (I will still pick on stereotypes though), but instead by defining it based off reading articles, and forum posts from Dakka Dakka, Bolter and Chainsword, Cmon, and game manufacturer’s websites.

When I first decided to write this article I thought I had a good understanding of the phrase. I was wrong. I discovered that a part of the “painting” community is loud enough that that they are heard. Not only are these people loud they are rude. You will find comments like”table top quality is just another way of saying ” , and “tabletop quality is just an excuse for you not wanting to play me”. So if you are a new player or painter who plays you are forewarned that you will be up against this kind of mentality. I suggest you steer clear of these people as best you can while you are learning to paint.
